IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Please

READ and SAVE this information

WARNING

Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use

the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose

other than those explained in the following pages.

Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of

unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All

repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only

original equipment factory replacement parts.

Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the

dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the

dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dish-

washer covered in this manual unless you are certain the electrical

supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been prop-

erly grounded.

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-

containing products can damage your dishwasher and may present

health hazards!

Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements

of 6 for soil removal and sanitation efficacy. There is no intention,

either directly or indirectly, to imply that all cycles on a certified

machine have passed the sanitization performance test.

NOTICE

Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The

manufacturer will not be liable for the possible damages or conse-

quences.

It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the

procedure to shut off the incoming water supply and the procedure to

shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or

contact your installer for more information.

NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for

licensed food establishments.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, or serious injury, observe the following:

1 This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this

Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before

using the dishwasher.

2 This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring sys-

tem, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the

circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding ter-

minal or lead on the dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions

included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical

requirements.

3 Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the

washing of household dishware and kitchenware.

4 Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a

dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

5 When loading items to be washed:

• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.

• Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP

to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher

safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check

the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels

are in place.

• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.

6 Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dish-

washer.

7 To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the

dishwasher.

8 When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is

the legal responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure

the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

9 Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot

water system that has not been used for two weeks or more.

Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is con-

nected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks

or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from

each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydro-

gen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open

flame during this time.

10 Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when

removing an old dishwasher for service or discarding.

11 To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow

wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.

12 Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freez-

ing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by

freezing is not covered by the warranty.

5

13 This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by

providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appli-

ance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding con-

ductor.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor

can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified elec-

trician or service representative if you are in doubt whether

the appliance is properly grounded.

Dishware Materials

Note: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in

this section. Some items are not dishwasher safe and should be hand washed;

others require special loading.

Recommended

Aluminum: Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in

your water may cause the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be

removed with a soap-filled steel wool pad.

China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted utensils may discolor,

fade or spot. Hand wash these utensils. Position fragile glassware so that

it will not topple over or come in contact with other utensils during the

wash cycle.

Glass: Milk glass may discolor or become yellow.

Non-stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick sur-

faces after drying.

Plastics: Make sure the plasticware is dishwasher safe.

Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver and Silver Plates: Load these so they do

not come in contact with other metals.

Not Recommended

Acrylic: Crazing or small cracks throughout the acrylic may occur.

Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join materials such as plastic,

wood, bone, steel copper, tin, etc. may loosen.

Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate.

Iron: Iron will rust. Hand wash and dry immediately.

Non-Dishware Items: Your dishwasher is intended for use in cleaning ONLY

standard household dishware and kitchenware.

Pewter, Brass, Bronze: These items will tarnish. Hand wash and dry

immediately.

Tin: Tin will stain. Hand wash and dry immediately.

Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils and utensils with wooden handles

can crack, warp and lose their finish.

Loading the Dishwasher

Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached soiling. Remove all food parti-

cles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-

on or starchy soils may require some pretreatment. Refer to the Dishware

Materials section for more information about dishware suitability.

Load only dishwasher safe items. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the

insides of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and

contact points between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.

Loading the Top Rack

Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block

the spray arms.

Note: When pushing the top rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops

against the back of the tub so the top rack spray arm connects to the water sup-

ply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.

Loading the Bottom Rack

Place large items in the bottom rack. Load pots, pans and bowls upside

down. Do not block vent with tall baking sheets or cutting boards, etc.

Load these items on the left side of the dishwasher.

NOTICE

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper prod-

ucts, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dish-

washer safe dishware and kitchenware.

Loading the Silverware Basket

Place knives and sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP and forks and

spoons with their handles down. If large or oddly-shaped items are loaded

in the silverware basket, be sure they do not nest together.

WARNING

The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause

serious injury. Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down. Do

not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils.

The Long Silverware Basket

The long silverware basket fits along the side of the lower

rack.

The Duo-Flex Silverware Basket

This basket splits along its length, resulting in two halves

that may be placed in a variety of positions in the lower

rack, greatly increasing the lower rack’s loading versatil-

ity. The basket snaps together either back to back or end

to end as shown.

To split the Duo-Flex Silverware Basket

Grasp the basket and slide the two halves in opposite

directions as shown at right and then pull the two halves

apart.

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best

results, use detergent tabs or fresh powdered dish washing detergent.

NOTICE

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dish washing products in

your dishwasher.

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your

water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etch-

ing in glassware.

This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is

required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean

most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure deter-

gent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons

(45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.

Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 1 tablespoon

(15ml) of detergent. Increase the amount if neces-

sary to the least amount required to get your kitch-

enware clean.

Use the measuring lines in the detergent dis-

penser cup as a guide to measure the amount of

detergent recommended in Table 1.

Adding Detergent

• 1 tablespoon (15ml) will clean most loads

(see Figure 6).

• Do not use more than 3 tablespoons

(45ml).

• Do not over fill the detergent dispenser.

• When using detergent tabs, lay them such that

they do not come in contact with the cover.

To Close

• Place finger as shown in Figure 7.

• Slide door closed and press down firmly

until it clicks.

To Open

• To open the cover, push the button as

shown in Figure 8. Cover will slide open.

Rinse Aid

Your dishwasher was designed to use rinse aid for best drying results. To

achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid, even if your deter-

gent contains a rinse aid or drying additive.

Note: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the “Add Rinse

Aid” indicator light. If this light is on, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser

by following the directions below. If the light is not on, your dishwasher still

has enough Rinse Aid and there is no need to refill it.

Adding Rinse Aid

Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser until it is

full (see Figure 9). Wipe up any excess rinse aid

that may puddle when the dispenser reservoir is

full. Lid must be snapped fully closed in order

to seal. The indicator light will go out a few

moments after the dishwasher door is shut.

See below for instructions on how to adjust the

amount of rinse aid dispensed.

Note: Setting the rinse aid to “r:00” may increase

cycle times.

Setting the amount of rinse aid

The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be set from “r:00” to “r:06”.

1 Press the [On/Off] button.

2 Hold down the “A” button (see page 15) and press [Start] until the

display indicates “d:00”. Release both buttons.

3 Press the “A” button until the display shows “r:05”.

4 Press the “C” button to select the desired setting.

“r:00” = dispenser is OFF

“r:01” = lowest setting

“r:02” = low setting

“r:03” = medium setting

Dishwasher Cycles and Options

Wash Cycles

Heavy: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These

dishes would normally require soaking.

Auto: With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect

for use with mixed loads of dishware and varying amounts of food soil.

This is the most flexible cycle and is a good choice for everyday use.

Normal:

Thoroughly cleans a full load of normally soiled dishes.

Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle with all

available options turned off. As prescribed in the energy test procedure, the

unit was tested without any Rinse Aid in the Rinse Aid dispenser. A single

dose of detergent was used in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent

used in the prewash. The test was conducted with the upper rack in the

upper position (for Manual Adjustable Racks) or the middle position (for

RackMatic Racks). See Appendix A for Energy Test load pattern.

Speed60™*: Cleans freshly soiled dishes with easy to remove soils. This

cycle reduces cycle time while still including drying.

Rinse*: Allows you to rinse food soil off of a partial load and hold the

dishes in the dishwasher until you are ready to run a full load. Do not

use detergent in this cycle.

Wash Cycle Options

Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24

hours.

SpeedPerfect

™

*

: Reduces cycle time by up to 25% while maintaining

cleaning performance.

Delicate: The Delicate option is available only in the Heavy, Auto and

Normal cycles. This cycle is best used for lightly soiled items with easy

to remove food soils.

Sanitize: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Nor-

mal cycles. The Sanitize LED will light when sanitation requirements are

met. The technical sanitation measures may also improve the drying results.

Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto when turned off and

back on. If you used the sanitize option in your last cycle, the dishwasher will

default to Auto Wash with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on.

Extra Shine™: Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the

Extra Shine option raises the temperature and extends the drying time to

further enhance drying results and provide a brilliant shine.

* model dependent

Wash Cycle Information

Note: To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense® where the sensors in the dish-

washer automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on

the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes

decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash

cycle times are based on 120°F water supply. If your household water supply is differ-

ent than 120°F, your dishwasher’s cycle times may be impacted.

Note: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6

for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly

or indirectly, to imply that all cycles have passed sanitization performance

tests.

Care and Maintenance

A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to pre-

vent faults. This saves time and prevents future problems.

Overall condition of the machine

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is

not liable for any resulting damage.

Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth - water and a

small amount of liquid soap is adequate. Do not use sponges as they

could scratch the surfaces.

Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, do not use sponges.

Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris

that may collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stain-

less steel, make sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly.

WARNING

Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as

some debris may be sharp.

Filters

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat

fine filter and a micro filter. The filters keep large

foreign objects in the rinsing water away from

the pump. Foreign objects may occasionally

block the filters.

Check the filters for residue by:

• Unscrew the filter cylinder as illustrated in Fig-

ure 10-11 and take out the filter system.

• Remove any residue and clean filters under

running water.

• Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and

ensure that the arrow marks are facing each

other after locking it into place.

Spray Arms

Check spray arms for grease and limescale

deposits.

If you find such deposits:

• Fill detergent dispenser with detergent and

start the appliance without utensils in the

cycle with the highest rinsing temperature

(see wash cycle information table).

• Clean the appliance with detergents/ appli-

ance cleaners which are particularly suitable

for use with dishwashers.

• Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown in Figure 12.

19

Waste water pump

Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the filters

may block the waste water pump.

Notice: Use caution when removing any blockage as items causing

blockage may be sharp.

In this case:

• Disconnect the appliance from the power sup-

ply.

• Remove the filters (Figure 10-11).

• Scoop out standing water - use a sponge if

necessary.

• Using a spoon, pry off the pump cover (see

Figure 13), then grip the cover and pull

upward until it resists and then pull for-

ward.

• Check inner compartment and remove any

foreign objects.

Preparing your unit for vacation

Before leaving for vacation during warmer weather, besides turning off

the main valve, also turn off water supply at the nearest point to the

dishwasher. During colder weather, please follow the instructions for

winterizing your unit below.

Winterizing your unit

If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a

location that experiences freezing temperatures (holiday home or

through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized by an au-

thorized professional service.

Self Help

Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems that are unrelated to a mal-

function of the dishwasher itself. The following information may help you

with a dishwasher problem without involving a repair professional.

Problem Cause Action

does not

start

1. Door may not be properly latched

2. Unit may not be turned on

3. Unit not reset or previous cycle not

completed

4. Delay start engaged

5. Interruption of electrical power

supply to dishwasher or blown fuse

6. The door may have been closed

without first selecting a cycle

7. Water supply may not be turned on

1. Shut the door completely until you

hear a click

2. Press the main power switch to

turn unit on

3. To reset, refer to “Cancel a Cycle”

in this manual

the “Wash Cycles and Options” sec-

tion in this manual

cuit breaker tripped

of the door, the display only illuminates

when the door is opened and controls

are visible.

1. Check the fuse or circuit breaker

box and replace the fuse or reset the

2. Ensure door is properly latched and

completely closed

Dishwasher

seems to

run a long

time

1. Incoming water is not warm enough

2. Cycle time can vary due to soil and

water conditions

3. Rinse agent dispenser is empty

4. Dishwasher connected to cold

water supply

Note: Refer to “Wash Cycle Information”

section in this manual for typical cycle

lengths.

1. Before starting a cycle, run hot

water faucet at the sink closest to the

dishwasher

2. Sensors in the dishwasher auto-

matically increase the cycle time to

ensure a good wash when heavy soil

is detected

3. Add rinse aid

4. Verify dishwasher is connected to

hot water supply plumbing

Dishes are

not getting

dry enough

1. Rinse agent dispenser is empty

2. Improper loading of dishes

3. Selected cycle does not include

drying

Note: Plastic or Teflon do not typically dry as

well as other items due to their inherent

properties.

1. Add rinse agent - the use of rinse

agent improves drying

2. Rearrange load to ensure items are

not nesting (see “Loading the Dish-

washer” section of the manual)

3. Rinse cycle does not include drying

Note: Select models offer an extra heating

option to improve drying performance.
